Happy birthday rugby in NZ

150 years today since the first game of rugby in NZ was played (as everyone who pays even minor attention knows - we invented NZ rugby in Nelson
).Good work Charles Monro.

i particularly like the way he wrote in to the original rules "if we ever merge with those bastards next door, and form a soulless plastic franchise, then we will never, ever be able to get our hands on the Shield"
Smart man Charles

@mariner4life I'm more on board with the guy who wrote in the margin, "You're pissed again, Charles. What fucking Shield? "

@Chris-B yet it was a 'town' football club that won the game FFS!
2-0 though, couldnt even get the scoring right back then!
-
@taniwharugby I wonder how recognisable that game would be if played today?
